Paul Badham explores the grounds on which the hope of immortality, central for Christian doctrine, can be revitalized today. He suggests that the possibility of a relationship between God and human beings is confirmed by our religious experience, and that resurrection and immortality need each other.

The book is written with a mission to help those people trapped by guilt, and by a very dark view of God as punitive and demanding blood. It presents the central doctrine of the atonement in a wider spiritual framework for Christians in a way which will respond to their spiritual as well as theological needs.
